Mark 13:15-37 ▼

15 and he on the housetop, do not let him come down into the house, nor come in to take anything out of his house;

16 and he who is in the field, do not let him turn to the things behind, to take up his garment.

17 And woe to those with child, and to those giving suck, in those days;

18 and pray that your flight may not be in winter,

19 for those days will be tribulation, such as has not been from the beginning of the creation that God created, until now, and may not be [again];

20 and if the LORD did not shorten the days, no flesh had been saved; but because of the chosen, whom He chose to Himself, He shortened the days.

21 And then, if any may say to you, Behold, here [is] the Christ, or, Behold, there, you may not believe;

22 for there will rise false Christs and false prophets, and they will give signs and wonders, to seduce, if possible, also the chosen;

23 and you, take heed; behold, I have foretold you all things.

24 But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give her light,

25 and the stars of the sky will be falling, and the powers that are in the heavens will be shaken.

26 And then they will see the Son of Man coming in clouds with much power and glory,

27 and then He will send His messengers, and gather together His chosen from the four winds, from the end of the earth to the end of heaven.

28 And from the fig tree learn the allegory: when the branch may already become tender, and may put forth the leaves, you know that the summer is near;

29 so you, also, when you may see these coming to pass, you know that it is near, at the doors.

30 Truly I say to you that this generation may not pass away until all these things may come to pass;

31 the heaven and the earth will pass away, but My words will not pass away.

32 And concerning that day and the hour no one has known—not even the messengers who are in Heaven, not even the Son—except the Father.

33 Take heed, watch and pray, for you have not known when the time is;

34 as a man who is gone abroad, having left his house, and given to his servants the authority, and to each one his work, also commanded the doorkeeper that he may watch;

35 watch, therefore, for you have not known when the lord of the house comes, at evening, or at midnight, or at rooster-crowing, or at the morning;

36 lest, having come suddenly, he may find you sleeping;

37 and what I say to you, I say to all, Watch!”
